Navigating minor scales

This post provides a map for navigating half steps in minor scales.

I suggest first practicing only the pairs of notes listed in the chart for each scale, up and down the scale, providing an aural map of the location of the half steps in that scale, then filling in the remaining intervals--which will all be whole steps--to complete the scale.

Also check out the following sites for additional ideas on learning/practicing minor scales:

The following charts are also posted in the ARTICLES/DOCUMENTS section of the Virtual Studio in pdf form.

Happy Navigating!
